I've managed to permanently lose 3 noble points. Two of them due to the bug described above (you don't get noble points back from
dead nobles who had renouced loyalty). I did receive one response from Rich on this subject the second time I wrote him, and he
basically stated that he hasn't looked into the bug yet, and will have to make a decision on whether to compensate all of those
affected, or no one at all, when (if) he does.
As for the other bug, I don't know if anyone else has experienced it, but as far as I know, it has not been fixed, so a warning:
When you recieve noble points back from dead nobles you'll only get the ones back that you spent on skills or spells if the noble
actually learned that skill. However, noble points are deducted when the noble starts studying, not when he learns the skill. So,
if a noble dies with a noble point costing skill or spell only partially known, you will not get the noble points that you spent on
that skill back. I lost one noble point this way.
